Custom Design

In addition to its standard product offer, TCS can be your partner for your custom design sensors. Main achievable characteristics are as follows:

Linear Arrays :

• pixel as small as 6.5 µm
• up to 15000/1 dynamic range
• Output frequency : up to 40 MHz per output
• Multi-taps output
• optional antiblooming and exposure control
• low lag
• length of sensitive area > 8 cm

Area Arrays :

• pixel size from 11x11 µm
• chip up to 36 cmІ
• Output frequency up to 40 MHz per output
• optional antiblooming and exposure control

TDI :

• Pixel size : starting from 11x11 µm
• Antiblooming
• Multi-taps output
• Output frequency : up to 40 MHz per output
• Selection of TDI stages number

Cameras :

• For linear and area array
• Internal or external acquisition synchronisation
• Internal or external pixel clock
• Start/end of acquisition control
• Multiple-cameras synchronisation capability
• RS232 Control Input
• Analog or Digital output (RS422 or RS644) on 8 to 12 bits

Near Infrared :

• Linear : from a few to 3000 pixels
• Area array : 128x128 and 256x256

Color Filters

UV coating

This special coating has been developed in order to improve responsivity of CCD in the 140-450 nm range.
This special coating can be applied both on linear arrays and area arrays.

Fiber optic Window

CCD image sensors are also available in a special fiber-optic configuration that combines a FO face plate and the CCD sensor itself
With this stucture, the sensor focal plane is transferred outside of the package allowing special coating or coupling (e.g. to an electron tube).
